American Cars Vs Japanese Cars

There's been a great deal of excitement lately over some of the car is being produced and the American market. While some of this hoopla seems to be deserved I do think that we should look at the future of American autos with a skeptical eye. I hate to admit that a product made in America is inferior to a product made in another country, but foreign vehicles, and Japanese cars in particular, have said an industry standard for quality, reliability, and holding resale value.

American autos didn't always have a poor reputation. In the early days of the automotive industry American cars were considered reliable and the general good value. As time passed however things change in the automotive industry and the Japanese carmakers were able to enter the market and create a new standard of quality. While American cars of the notorious for poor electrical components, cheap feeling interiors, and the general lack of reliability, Japanese carmakers have been producing high quality vehicles for decades now and have garnered a reputation for reliability. Can American cars ever catch up to their Japanese counterparts? Since some Japanese car companies have recently had some reliability issues that might call into question their future competitiveness, but will American auto companies be able to capitalize on this? It's hard to say right now whether are not American car companies will be able to regain market share against the Japanese counterparts, but it's safe to say the opening has been created and it may very well be possible for the big three to take back some of the market.
